NEW HD RUMOR; 24 HD Channels for DirecTV..Bye bye Voom

[andrzej]

Dvlos: you can keep calling your lame Voom the leader all you want, but we all know it's wishful thinking and just trying to convence yourself of it also.
with 25,000 viewers and dropping.....Voom leads NOTHING!

Hmm, strange logic indeed. I guess Ferrari knows nothing about cars because there is probably about one Ferrari Maranello per 100,000 Toyota Corolla.

You can probably fit 5 Corollas on D*'s new dish, doh! there you go DirectTV wins again.. curses Voomman, foiled agaIN!

 

[Sean Mota]

I am looking forward to this rumor(s) to become true. If it becomes true, Charlie is out of the door and D* will be welcome in. So E* has until October to WOW me or it will be D* who will be getting my business. So I can't wait. And yes my money goes to whomever provides the mosts HD (period). It could be the Devil himself that comes up with the HD channels and I will give him my $. I vote with my money.

 

[wbuffetta]

I Agree With Sean.
I Don't Care If It Is D*, E*, Or V*. Who Ever Gives Me The Most HD & With Little To No Rain/Cloud Fade Will Get My $100.00 Plus Bucks a Month. PERIOD!!!!!

 

[hancox]

bingo. I only wish my E* commitment wasn't over my head until December. I'd bring in the bidders LOL

[Darin]

It also appears Spice HD will be on DirecTV soon as well

It's been on for quite some time (at least six months??). It's on the PPV channel late at night.

 

[Curtis0620]

How about this one.

[Scott Greczkowski]

Good one, I tried every channel I know and those were the ones I found.

 

[Darin]

I wouldn't get too excited about the major network logos... as you can see, they are simply being used here to talk about HD programming that is available on those networks. But they are talking about reception via OTA.

 

[rad]

It would be nice to see a Starz-HD and TNT-HD logo pop up also.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Aww shucks I though I hit gold.

I will keep digging.

I expect a lot to be announced at CEDIA, and I am proud that SatelliteGuys will be there because of the generous support of our members!

 

[occammd]

About the 5 lnb'sand new dish. I have an old Cband in the backyard. Could I make it static and use the lnb's for the 5 install?

 

[Ramy]

Hey Scott, when does CEDIA start and end?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

The Expo Starts on Sept 10th and runs through the 12th.

 

[steverobertson]

I think it would be nice to see the RSN pop up as well

 

[garydean]

Aww shucks I though I hit gold.

I will keep digging.

and

Speaking of HDTV SatelliteGuys has been digging for clues on DirecTV's Website. We hit some surprises when we got to the HD Channel graphics. Is this a sign of things to come?

Is it just a coincidence that I posted the BravoHD+ logo over at AVS 3 hours prior to your "discovery"? I have written a site scraper that scours the D* site for clues. I check it several times a day. BravoHD popped up today, and I posted.

Nice "digging"... :clap

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Hey thats cool.

Ive been doing it my hand on and off again, as well as checking HTML code for hidden treasures.

It's a pain to do it by hand though.

 

[Darin]

He never said he wasn't also digging at AVS.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Nope wasn't digging there, if was I would have save about 45 minutes of time. I just saw the post over at AVS, now I feel dumb hehe.
